Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Susie Wyshak]

Go to www.asera.com (not a top site)

Menu text is at the top with main pain content pushed down.
Styles are not in effect.

FYI http://www.asera.com/styles_home_win_nav.css

I can get a contact if the problem is pinpointed.
Changing UA string to IE didn't help.

The style sheet file is served as application/x-pointplus by the web server.
Mozilla doesn't know this Mime type and therefore ignore the style sheet file.

Hi - Thanks for the diagnosis. Might you know what the fix is so I can let them
know?

Section: 
What does I/O Error: Unknown mime type: some/type mean?

Cascading Style Sheets must be labeled as text/css, see RFC
2318(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2318.txt), "The text/css Media Type" for
details. Your server must be configured to return this MIME type in the
Content-Type HTTP header. If you don't know how to setup your server to return
this Media Type, check your webserver's manual or contact your system
administrator or the support of your hosting company and ask them to make this
change for you

So they need to modify the server to use text/css for .css files.
